Southern Region, June.

Longxi Village, Baihe Town, Nanshan City.

The small courtyard of the farmhouse, the shadows of the trees. In the evening, the sun is setting, and the noise is still endless.

In the small courtyard, there is a table of wine and food, the dishes are all farmer's own vegetables, chicken, duck and fish, very rich. On the table is Zhou Heng's family, plus his neighbor's hair, Zhang Feng.

Under the table is a big yellow dog, looking for bones to eat.

On a hot day, it is cooler to eat in the yard than in the house.

Zhou Heng picked up Jiang Xiaobai on the table, poured it full for Zhang Feng, and poured it full for himself, and said: "Fengzi, this time it's really thanks to you, brother don't thank you, come, I'll give you a cup." ”

In the middle of the night two days ago, Zhou Heng's father suddenly had abdominal pain, and he died of pain, and the doctor in the village couldn't tell what was wrong, so he was sent to the hospital immediately.

The current situation in the countryside is basically a left-behind village, either an old man or a child, who can send him to the hospital in the middle of the night?

Coincidentally, Zhang Feng, who was working part-time in the provincial capital, happened to come back two days ago, and Zhou Heng's mother asked him to help and sent him to the hospital.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Feng didn't say a word, and rode a motorcycle to the hospital with the two elders, helping to register, and helping to pay the bills.

For acute kidney stones, the hospital hurriedly gave painkiller injections first, and then did B ultrasound to see if it was a direct lithotripsy or surgery.

Zhou Heng didn't receive a call until dawn, and immediately asked for leave and rushed back.

When he took a leave of absence and rushed back by high-speed train, his father had already made gravel and was hanging a drip.

It is conceivable that if it weren't for the fact that this Fa Xiao happened to be at home, he was so righteous at that time, and he was touching the gang to send people to the hospital, and the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Zhou Heng was very grateful in his heart.

No, my father came back from the hospital, and the family immediately opened up, please drink a good drink, thank you.

Zhou Heng's sister Zhou Ying also picked up the cup and said, "Zhang Feng, thank you so much this time." ”

Zhou Ying is ten years older than Zhou Hengda, has married and given birth to a second child, and bought a house in the city.

At that time, she heard that something happened to her father, and she was also very anxious, her husband was working in the field, and he only came back once in a few months, she was alone with two children, one was about to take the high school entrance examination, and the other was only three years old.

She couldn't help it, so she just shook her awake and asked him to look at her sister and rush to the hospital by herself.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng had already helped send her father to the city hospital, otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do.

Both siblings are grateful.

Zhang Feng picked up the wine glass and said again and again: "Look at you, say everything you can say." At that time, if anyone was at home, he would have done it. ”

He and Zhou Heng have been friends since childhood, and they will definitely reach out when they encounter this.

Who hasn't had an urgent matter yet!

Zhou Heng drank with him several more times, and repeatedly beckoned him to eat more vegetables.

This trip home touched him too deeply.

He went to the hospital first with his luggage, and he didn't have time to get home. As soon as I entered the hospital, I saw my father who was old and thin due to illness, and my mother who was hesitant and helpless, which was really full of mixed feelings.

His parents gave birth to him so big, and in such a difficult environment, he gritted his teeth for him to go to college, but until now, he didn't say that he was filial piety, and even when his father was sick, he couldn't send him to the hospital as soon as possible.

Countless feelings of guilt welled up in my heart.

Parents will get older and older, and if you say something disagreeable, I am afraid that there will be more and more such things in the future.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng is at home this time, what if there are no young people at home next time?

If only the family could have a career, he could take care of the family and career.

The two lively children at the table temporarily dispelled his worries.

Zhou Ying asked the eldest to live in the school temporarily, and she took the little girl back to her parents' house together, planning to take care of her parents for a few days.

Then there is Zhang Feng's daughter, who is four years old, and the two little girls sit side by side, comparing whose chicken leg is bigger in the bowl, and they are very happy.

"Mom, my chicken legs are bigger. Three-year-old Wang Siqi held up the chicken leg and said as if showing off to Zhou Ying.

The name is like a boy, and it means "to see the wise and think together".

Zhou Ying perfunctorily said to her: "Yes, yes, yours are bigger, yours are bigger, eat my God!"

Now the other little girl was not happy.

"Dad, my chicken leg is bigger. Zhang Feng's daughter Zhang Yuanyuan also coquettishly treated her father.

Zhang Feng patted her little head lightly and said dotingly: "Well, eat quickly." ”

When there are children at the table, there will be no shortage of topics.

Speaking of which, Zhang Feng and Zhou Heng have played together since childhood, went to school together, and stole watermelons and sweet potatoes in the village together.

As a result, their daughters are now four years old.

Zhou Heng is still not married.

I'm also twenty-seven years old.

Zhou's mother asked her son, half urging and half jokingly: "Xiao Heng, look at it, other people's children are so cute, do you feel anything?"

Zhou Hengzheng was drinking wine with Zhang Feng, and the disaster came from the sky, and he hurriedly confessed: "Don't dare to think, don't dare to think." ”

He also wants to get married and have children, isn't that a blessing yet?

Zhang Feng immediately relieved him and said to Zhou's mother: "Auntie, what are you anxious about this matter? Zhou Heng is a college graduate, with a high education, handsome appearance, and ability, why can't you worry about marrying a daughter-in-law? Don't worry, he will definitely marry you a daughter-in-law from a big city!"

A compliment made Zhou's mother happy.

Zhang Feng and Zhou Heng went to school together, but they didn't study after finishing junior high school, and they didn't learn any technology, so they got married and had children early.

Now I have suffered from no education and no technology, and I can only do some short-term jobs in the provincial capital, earning one.

But there is also the same good, the freedom to work for a short time, and more time to go home and take care of the young and the old.

Zhou Heng saw that the topic kept turning to himself, which is not a good thing.

He took a bite of the chicken and said exaggeratedly: "Oh, I said, the chicken at home is really delicious, fragrant and delicious, ten times more delicious than buying outside!

Shooting the old lady's ass, he has been practicing since he was a few years old, and he has a lot of experience.

Zhou Mule said: "What kind of technology? It's not a native chicken raised in the countryside? I look for insects to eat in the mountains, jump on the trees every day, and have a lot of activities, can it be delicious?"

But no, the taste of free-range chickens in rural areas is indeed different, the meat is fragrant, strong, and not firewood.

Many of the chickens on the market today are branded as local chickens, but when they are eaten, it is not the case at all!

Zhou's mother said that last year she heard that someone provided local chickens to the local restaurant outside, and earned thousands of yuan a year, no, this year she discussed with her father, and the two of them raised more than 500 local chickens.

There are no sources in the village, they all listen to others, and they do whatever others do to make money.

A few years ago, I heard that the price of wormwood is high, and it can reach six or seven yuan a pound when dried, and they have also planted wormwood for a few years. But after a few years, there are more people planting, and the price has dropped so low that it is not worth getting.

Only then did he change his trick and wanted to go the way of raising chickens.

Don't look at the simplicity of raising chickens in farmers, I think it's just to sprinkle some grain in the morning and evening, but in fact, the doorway here is not small.

As long as there is something wrong with the chicken, it is easy to die, maybe it is still contagious, and once it dies, it will die a lot.

That's all money.

If you get sick in the busy season of farming, it will be even more sad, on the one hand, the fields are too busy, you can't take care of eating, and on the other hand, you have to inject and feed the chickens, the taste is really not something ordinary people can bear.

These more than 500 chickens were raised by Zhou Heng's parents at this age, serving more than 20 acres of fields, and then spending energy to raise, which shows how hard it is.

Every time Zhou Heng said that it was time for them to rest if they asked their parents to plant less fields and rent what they had to others, they resolutely disagreed.

Nothing else, can you get more and more income, at least you don't have to reach out to your son to ask for it, wouldn't that reduce his burden?

As he was talking, there was a roar outside the yard, full of the sound of chickens "clucking" and "cooing".

More than 500 chickens have returned.

The head is led by a fat big rooster, followed by its harem, neat, like a triumphant army, full of momentum.

Zhou Heng said very happily: "This chicken is good, I know that I will come back!"

My father also liked it, as if he had seen money, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and went to sprinkle food for them.

He happily replied: "Of course, this big rooster is very aura, and he takes the chicken out every morning and brings it back in the evening." ”

Although the chickens are looking for food in the mountains during the day, they will definitely not be able to eat enough, and they still have to replenish some food in the morning and evening.

Rice, corn, whatever.

Zhang Feng said enviously: "Uncle, you contract half a mountain, plant orchards, raise chickens, and plant so many fields, you are more energetic than young people!"

The back mountain was contracted by Zhou Heng's family, and oranges were planted, which is also what I heard from whom, it was okay to plant oranges in the past two years, so I planted them.

Anyway, the fruit trees are not very managed, and it is not troublesome - the parents do not understand the scientific planting system, and basically can only rely on their farming experience.

However, it takes three years for the fruit trees to bear fruit, which is still early.

Take this opportunity to raise a little local chicken, which can be regarded as making the best use of the land.

The yard is full of the sound of chickens pecking, "tuk tuk", full of the charm of a farmer.

Three-year-old Wang Siqi said as he nibbled on chicken legs: "Mom, there are so many chickens! ”

She can now learn to count, so the desire to count is strong.

Zhou Ying replied to her while eating: "Hurry up and eat, eat slowly, after a while, the chicken will eat the corn, and I will grab the food in your bowl." ”

At this moment, Zhou Heng's mobile phone vibrate.

He took it out and looked at it, and it showed:

[Farm farming APP, is it installed?Yes/No]

Zhou Heng was stunned, what is this? He didn't operate his mobile phone, how could this thing pop up? Don't it be a virus, right?

He clicked "No", and the phone displayed:

【Installation has started, please be patient!】

Then you will be redirected to the installation page and the installation will begin.

Zhou Heng: "......"

Nima is really a virus, and she still plays with people like this!

He looked everywhere for the exit button, but it was too late, the phone seemed to be remotely controlled, and no operation worked.
